HISTORY OF FLORIDA.

Health Resort Discovered Many Years
Ago by Mr. Ponce dc Leon.
Florida has been health resort ever
since it was discovered by Ponce de
Leon in 1912. In fact that celebrated
discoverer went there for health him
self. He was afflicted with disorder
(almost always fatally called old age,
which is liable to attack man who has
been careless during his youth, some-
where between the ages of fifty and
one hundred. There Is no absolute
remedy for it even when treated in its
earliest stages. Most men neglect it
until it becomes firmly seated, and then
it is too late. 1t may be mitigated by
soothing treatment, but there is no
case recorded in medical works where
it has ever been thoroughly eradicated.
Ponce had led fast life, and when
he found age creeping on with its at
tendant infirmities he looked about for
means of recuperation. There had
been mystic legend floating around
Europe concerning fountain of youth
somewhere in the New World, wherein
it was only necessary for an old man
to bathe to be made as good as new.
He would emerge as frisky as he ever
was in the world, his bald head COW
cred with luxurious wig and his
mouth pre-empted by double set Of
false teeth of rubber, made while you
wait. Ponce set sail at once and landed
in Florida April 5, 1912, only twenty
years after the discovery of America.
AS soon as he arrived he was be-
sieged by the natives to buy an orange
grove. They said oranges could be
raised there with or without derrick,
yielding an enormous profit. Failing
in that he could keep winter boarders
from the North. But he turned deaf
ear to their propositions and struck out
boldly in search of the tabled fountain.
1t must have been a melancholy
thing to see that infatuated old man
wandering among savage everglades,
now stumbling over knolls and again
on Seminoles, in his fruitless quest. He
heard of fountain one day, but after
weeks of painful travel he found it was
only disabled soda fountain left be-
hind by picnic party. Finally, de.
spairing of becoming young again by
the hydropathic system he wisely set
tied down at Jacksonville and opened a
hotel for invalids, where he accumu-
lated handsome incompetency before
be died.-Is1as Sutinga

How Many7

Wonder how many farmers will quit
raising corn because the crop is short
this season? How many are declaring
the poultry business" is a failure on
account of poor success in the start
Every thing and every body have ther
ups and downs and poultry, for thl|
season just closing, has had rough
time. This is no reason why the buslI
ness should be denounced for I'D
chances are that another spring will
brighten up the whole farming world

Weeds and Their Functions.

Of all the wastes whose myriad
mouths suck away the profits of agri-
culture. the waste of weeds is greatest.
Day and night they work, in sunshine
and in rain. stealing from the soil the
fertility which should have gone into
the production of useful plants. And
yet it is through no chance-work that
the barred soil Immediately begins to
clothe itself with weeds. 1t is mart of

Why two pieces of wood sawn from
the same section of tree should possess
very varied characteristics when used
in different positions, a scientific writer
remarks, has often puzzled observers.
For example, a gate-post is found to
decay much faster if the butt end of the
tree be uppermost than would be the
case if the top be placed in this posi-
ton, the reason being that the moisture
of the atmosphere will permeate the
pores of the wood much more rapidly
the way the tree grew than it would in
the opposite direction. Microscopical
examination proves that the pores in
vite the ascent of the moisture, while
they repel its descent. Public Opinion.

precision in the Divine judgments. The
universe is only one thought of God
Those things which seem fragmentary and
isolated are only different parts of that
one great thought. How far apart seemed
these two events-Joseph sold to the
Arabian merchants and the rulership of
Egypt. Yet you see in what mysterious
way God connected the two in one plan.
So all events are linked together. You
who are aged can look back and group
together a thousand things in your life
that once seemed isolate. One un-
divided chain of events reached from
the Garden of Eden to the cross of CAL
vary, and thus up to Heaven. There is a
relation between the smallest insect that
huns in the summer air and the archangel
on his throne. God can trace a direct an
cestral line from the bluejay that last
spring built its nest in q tree behind the
house to some one of that flock of birds
which, when Noah hoisted the ark's win
dow, with q whirl and dash of bright
wings went out to sing over Mount Ararat.
The tulips that bloomed this summer In

Finally, learn from this subject that in
every famine there is storehouse. Up the
long row of buildings, piled to the very roof
with corn, come the hungry multitudes,
and Joseph commanded that their sacks
and their wagons be filled. The world has
been blasted. Every green thing has
withered under the touch of SIM. From
all continents and islands and zones comes
up the groan of dying millions. Over
tropical spice-grove, and Siberian ice hut,
and Hindoo jungle the blight has fallen.
The famine is universal. But, glory be to
God, there is great storehouse. Jesus
Christ, our elder brother, this day bids
us come in from our hunger and
beggary, and obtain infinite sup
plies of grace enough to make us
rich forever. Many of you have for
long while been smitten of the famine.
The world has not stilled the thobbing of
your spirit Your conscience sometimes
rouses you up with such suddenness and
strength that it requires the most gigantic
determination to queIl the disturbance.
Your courage quakes at the thought of the
future. Oh, why will you tarry amid the
hastings of the famine when such glori-
Gus store-house is open in Gods mercy?
Ye wretched, hungry. starving poor,
Behold royal feast,
Where mercy spreads her bounteous store
For every humble guest.
See, Jesus stands with open arms,
He calls, He bids you come;
Guilt holds you back and fear alarms,
But see, there yet is room.

Death of Mrs. CarringtOu.

Mrs. Adeline S. Darlington, wife OF
Colonel Joseph L. Darlington, proprie-
tor of the Exchange Hotel and Ballard
House, died very suddenly Sunday
morning from q heart trouble. She
was daughter of the late Powhatan
Jones, of Buckingham county, and was
born February 10, 1916, and married
April 3, 1888. She was the mother OF
nine children, five of whom survive her.
To her husband she was loving and
helpful wife to her children a discreet
and aflectionate mother to those about
her faithful friend.
It was her delight to assist in the re-
sponsibilities of Colonel Carrington's
hotel enterprise, and by her unweary-
ing zeal and industry in the duties OF
that great household she contributed
largely to his success in life. Her i'll
ness was very brief. She was active al
most to the last, and she died in the
enjoyment of the Christian hope aud
with the consciousness that her life had
been unselishly spent. Her funeral viii
take place this afternoon at 3:3O from
st. Pauls church.

GROUNDS AND BUILDINGS.
Another Spicy Meeting OF this COun'
ell Committee.

The Committee on Grounds and
Buildings met in weekly session yester-
day at $50 z. NJ. Present Messrs.
Kendler (chairman), Snead, Sullivan,
and Crenshaw.
The first subject considered was a
complaint from Mr.. De Priest, keeper
of the New-Reseryoir Park, charging
Mr.. A. Krause Ito whom was rented the
refresbment privileges at the park
with creating a disturbance there and
interfering with him in the discharge
of his duties. The bulk of the testi-
mony by the witnesses examined tended
TO show that Krause's manner was
rather oyerbearing, and that he refused
to recognize De Priest as keeper.
The committee did not see ex-
actly how it could act on such case,
so the City Engineer was directed to
act as he thought best-reprimand one
or both if he deemed it proper SO to do.

pany asked permission to erect an or

site the keepers house at the western

Mr.. Kendler and Mr.. Snead voted
AYE" and Mr.. Crenshaw, as usual,
voted "No"; but Mr. Sullivan, con-
trary to custom, voted "No also. This
caused tie, which Mr.. Kendler, as
chairman, refused to alter.
Il am surprised at Mr.. Sullivan's
voting no." remarked Mr. Kendler.
"Why did you do so, Mr.. Sullivan"
"haven't / as much right to vote no
as the other gentleman has" Mr.. Sui
livan said evasiyely.
Certainly" answered Mr.. Kendler.
al vote no, put in Mr.. Crenshaw,
"because the committee increased the
pay of the City-Hall hands, and |
always will vote no as long as the city
pays more than private individuals" "
"Well, gentlemen, added the Chair
man, 81 am not willing to assume the
responsibility of signing the vouchers,
and so the matter viii have to lay over.
Mr.. Snead moved to lay on the table.
